Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd on behalf of Alton Towers Resort Operations Ltd during the excavation of groundworks for the foundations of a proposed new rollercoaster at Alton Towers resort. This initially entailed observation of the excavation of 15 test pits in the area of the now dismantled Corkscrew ride. Further observation of groundworks was then undertaken both in this area and the surrounding woodland to the south. |
